i used to consult with healthcare providers. we don't need to have a board of 15 people telling us what kinds of treatments we should have. we instead need to put insurance plans, providers, hospitals, doctors on target such that they have an incentive as you say, performance pay, and that's happening. intermountain health care does it superbly well and so to others. but the right answer is not to have the federal government take over health care and start mandating to america telling a patient and a doctor what kind of treatment they can have. the private market and individual responsibility always works best. >> obama: this board that we're talking about can't make decisions about what treatments are given. that's prohibited in the law. but let's go back to what governor romney indicated; that under his plan he would be able to cover people with preexisting conditions. governor what your plan does is to duplicate what is already the law, which says that, you know, if you are out of health insurance for three months then you ca

governor romney used to be a real leader on climate. and then the timing makes it seem that maybe he completely changed his position when he first started thinking about running for president. and i would ask, you know, a different version of the same question to president obama. i -- it's no secret. i have written this. i would have liked to see him do a lot more on climate, but i give him credit for the difficult things that he did do. but i would try to bring out from him whether in the sec term he is going to do what needs to be done. >> cenk: president obama is using an ad where mitt romney was outside of a coal plant and he was saying some great things about we have to do something about pollution. >> eliot: i would ask mitt romney this question because he is hiding behind federalism on the healthcare issue. if the individual mandate was good policy as a matter of logic in health care for massachusetts, why isn't it good policy for new york north carolina, california? don't tell me about states making their own decisions, isn't it
